Recipe Notes and Modifications:

I recommend the brand Pescience Select one for protein powder, for this recipe use the Vanilla Gourmet flavour!
For a comforting warm breakfast, gently warm the quinoa in the microwave or on the stove before mixing it with the Greek yogurt and protein powder.
Depending on protein powder used, you may need to add 2-3 Tbsp of Almond milk to thin out the yogurt/quinoa mixture.
Adjust the amount of sugar-free maple syrup and zero-cal sweetener based on your taste preferences. You can also use a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit.
If you’ve already assembled the bowls, they can still be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, but the apples and quinoa may soften over time.
